Yeah, We’re Really Succeeding in Reining In NORKLand
By now, everyone’s heard the response of the feckless fool ‘s festival in DC current Administration to North Korea’s alleged cyber attack on Sony Pictures. They’ve got to stand up for their most reliable political supporters, I guess.
But just how well has the current clueless DC clown krewe handled North Korea’s nuclear program? Based on recent reporting by Bloomberg.com, not so well.
North Korea has pretty much told the world to go pound sand regarding the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty for years. It has continued its nuclear weapons development programs with hardly a break in stride for the last several years.
Just how bad has this administration fumbled this? Well, the low-end estimate is that North Korea will possess enough enriched uranium and/or weapons-grade plutonium in about 5 years to fabricate 33 nuclear weapons. The high-end estimate? They’ll have enough material for nearly 80 – 79, to be precise.
Yeah, the NORKS produce some pretty lousy nukes. But while 5 to 10 kT isn’t exactly the second coming of the Big Bang, it’s not exactly a firecracker either.
This article has more details. It’s worth reading.
I guess we should be glad that the current Administration is such a big fan of missile defense, and has devoted so much time/effort/money into developing same. And yes – for anyone who didn’t catch it, that last sentence was indeed pure sarcasm.

But, the current krewe of kids is doing a great job of screwing up the traffic in Hawaii and making sure that other people vacationing there are finding wide swaths of Oahu off limits to the proletariat.
The NORKS were without their internet for a day, what more do you want?
I’d just like to see the ‘level of intelligence you don’t normally see’ that conclusively ties the hack attack to NK. A good number of people aren’t convinced, and one such write-up worth reading is here:

As for Nork’s Nukes, I’m not so sure what any administration could do that would really make a marked difference. I’m interested in hearing any great ideas people have. In the grand scheme of things, it seems like NK’s nukes are less of a concern than Pakistan’s enormous arsenal and the oft-rumored things they do to ‘safeguard’ them like driving them around in trucks to ‘hide’ where they are.
The FBI basically said what bodaprez wanted them to say, that’s all. They don’t have a clue, and the suggestion by the author that it’s someone who has a personal grudge against Sony makes more sense. The use of ‘The Interview’ was just an excuse.
And, no, I do not believe everything that comes off the news services any more, especially if it comes from the current (lack of) administration.
Meanwhile, B. Hussein 0bama could not be reached for comment while on the golf course!
Guess Sony decided to give the hacking group (who ever they are NKorea or someone else) the finger.
They just released ‘The Interview” on YouTube for like $5.99. See link:
Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone, In a one bedroom house made of plaster & stone. I had come down the chimney with presents to give And to see just who in this home did live. I looked all about a strange sight I did see, No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree. No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand, On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands. With medals and badges, awards of all kind A sober thought came through my mind. For this house was different, so dark and dreary, I knew I had found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly. I heard stories about them, I had to see more So I walked down the hall and pushed open the door. And there he lay sleeping silent alone, Curled up on the floor in his one bedroom home. His face so gentle, his room in such disorder, Not how I pictured a United States soldier. Was this the hero of whom I’d just read? Curled up in his poncho, a floor for his bed? His head was clean shaven, his weathered face tan, I soon understood this was more than a man. For I realized the families that I saw that night Owed their lives to these men who were willing to fight. Soon ‘round the world, the children would play, And grownups would celebrate on a bright Christmas day. They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year, Because of soldiers like this one lying here. I couldn’t help wonder how many lay alone On a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home. Just the very thought brought a tear to my eye, I dropped to my knees and started to cry. The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice, “Santa don’t cry, this life is my choice; I fight for freedom, I don’t ask for more, my life is my God, my country, my Corps.” With that he rolled over and drifted off into sleep, I couldn’t control it, I… Read more »
Master Chief, I usually don’t read things like this, but this one hit home. Especially as I sit here getting ready to go to work on Christmas. Actually, it would feel funny if I WASN’T working on a holiday.
The poem especially reminds me of one Christmas when I was on a fast attack which was the only one deployed in the world. Awesome mission, but not very festive.
Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur was right! The world would be a more peaceful place if we had Nuked Red China when we had the chance. No Red China, no North Korea, no Ho Chi Mien. A big dose of radiation for China in 1951-52 might have cooled the Russians on their plans for world domination.
Totally agree
And God… NK is an eerie place. Even just looking across the DMZ at it (in my case from Guard Post Collier).
Their “propaganda village” is something else.
The latest news re: this dustup is that ‘The Interview’ raked in a cool $1,000,000 via limited theater showings and is continuing to rake in more online.
Fatty Kim III aka NDtBF used an unfortunate rainbow spitting sparkle fart snor toad term for bodaprez, who, I’m sure, is now weeping over his fresh mango pineapple fruit compote after his golf game with the Pres of Malaysia was interrupted by bad Malay weather and flooding.

The more he bawls about that flick ( which has been getting jeered by a lot of critics), the more money he’ll be making Sony Pictures, oh, the delicious irony, keep bawling, plumpy ‘lil Kim Jong Un!! I’m not fond at all of Sony Pictures after they wussed, but seeing that portly commie’s shit fits make money for Capitalists does make me laugh! We’ve always heard of “fat kids” being ridiculed, but think about it , I’m sure Kim Jong Un is the ONLY ” fat boy” in his little fiefdom!!
